Who initiated the charges against Dog the bounty Hunter?

Question

Why is someone being punished for getting another dirt-bag off the streets?

Answer 1

Dog the Bounty Hunter Special appeared on A&E last night. Critics may dismiss his plight because they see his show as a novelty. But I say to you this is of great import because there are three men’s lives at stake. This certainly deserves the attention of the public and the US government.

I am so incensed at his arrest and possible extradition back to Mexico. The whole thing is disgusting.


Duane “Dog” Chapman’s life and the life of son Leland & brother Tim hang in the balance over a minor misdemeanor – the capture of Andrew Luster – notorious rapist now serving 124 year sentence in prison.

While in custody in a US federal detention facility, their lives were threatened by familiar faces and other inmates seeking revenge for his bounty hunting profession. The Mexican prison’s conditions would be worse and they would most likely not live to serve the 4 month to 4 year sentence that misdemeanor carries.

“…. Mexico routinely declines to extradite suspects facing life in prison or the death penalty. Mexico's Supreme Court, which favors rehabilitation and views capital punishment and no-parole sentences as cruel, has blocked numerous extraditions until U.S. authorities agreed to lower the potential punishment a suspect faced in an American court.”

“Mexico itself has a mixed track record for returning fugitives. In the case of American citizens who flee to Mexico, it can take U.S. officials months or even years to get a fugitive returned if they have a good lawyer.”

I hope the Department of Justice does not let the American people down and three of its very fine citizens that need its help. Keep the Dog Free!!!!

Answer 2

The American Association of Bondsmen. For real. This was just reported a couple of days ago on Headline News. The Mexican government did not initiate this arrest, his fellow bounty hunters did. The Association spokesman stated that they felt at the time Dog went to Mexico to capture Luster, that he was making a mistake. Their reason, because it is illegal to do so and Dog they knew there would be trouble. This they felt, gave them all a bad reputation and embarrassed them as a group. They have pushed for this since it became so public, they expected this outcome and wanted the focus of the wrongdoing to be on Dog, and not all bounty hunters. I am a Dog fan just as you are. Your question is, who initiated this, and this is what is being reported.

Answer 3

well i could care less. i mean if it was another bounty hunter that was not famous, we would never hear about it.

he did break the law i agree with you he is taking another criminal away but there is a right way and a wrong way to do it and he apparently did it the wrong way

it is the media that blows this all out of proportion just like the war

we only hear about the prisoner abuse...the deaths of our soldier ALL THE NEGATIVES.... what about the great heroic things they do for our country EVERYDAY??? do we hear about that? we only hear about when someone does something wrong and im kinda sick of it

Answer 4

DOG broke the law - what is so hard about that, to understand ?

He kidnapped another person in Mexico - sure a dirt bag. But Mexican law does not allow that. DOG broke the law, he deserves to get punished.

Answer 5

we'll i think they should let him off. I'm sick of people killing people and running to Mexico and were not allowed there, but those Mexicans sure can cross that wall into our country and the US doesn't do crap about it. Plus if dog doesn't catch the bad guy he has to pay the bond, and hes just a man trying to support his family. i say Go Dog!!

Answer 6

Mexico placed pressure on the US to extradite Dog to Mexico for the trial that Dog never showed up for.

Answer 7

He broke international law, and no one is above the law.

Answer 8

Mexico for kidnapping.
